This Week: Wildlife Tracking

Have you ever wondered what kind of animals are roaming around at night? Make tracks to the Wildflower Center to find out. Our habitat hikes will take you on a wildlife tracking adventure. Earth Native Wilderness School gets wild with displays of wildlife print casts and other animal artifacts. Capital Area Master Naturalists show you how to make your own animal tracks. Austin Wildlife Rescue will be on hand to tell you what to do if you find an abandoned wild animal. Be on the lookout for all kinds of critters in the Luci and Ian Family Garden!

In the Store: Tracking kits and books on special, and Annette Lucksinger signs her guidebook "Exploring Austin with Kids" from 5 to 8 p.m.

Join us for family fun Thursday evenings this summer. Nature Nights are fun explorations of plants, animals, and the ecology of Central Texas. Each evening features interactive presentations, hikes with experts in their fields, and educational activities for kids of all ages. Nature Nights are supported through volunteer efforts by Capital Area Master Naturalists and other community partners. Thanks to H-E-B, admission to the Wildflower Center will be free the day of Nature Nights as well as those nights.
